          MEASURES READ FOR THE FIRST TIME--S. 162 AND S. 163

  Mr. REID. I am told there are two bills at the desk for their first 
reading. I ask we consider those en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the titles of the bills en 
bloc for the first time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 162) to cut $500,000,000,000 in spending in 
     fiscal year 2011.
       A bill (S. 163) to require that the Government prioritize 
     all obligations on the debt held by the public in the event 
     that the debt limit is reached.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask for the second reading en bloc, but I 
object to my own requests en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bills will be read for 
the second time on the next legislative day.
  The Republican leader.
